SOTKAMO SILVER DEVELOP THE DEPLOYMENT OF BIOENERGY TOGETHER WITH VAPO

Sotkamo Silver and Vapo Oy have signed an agreement for the heating of Silver Mine ventilation air. Vapo will supply to the mine a heating package for the mine ventilation air and provide the necessary heating as a service. With the agreement, Vapo undertakes to develop a bioenergy-based solution for ventilation air heating.

An initial propane-based heating solution will be in place already during the coming autumn, after which Vapo will actively start to develop the use of renewable fuels for the Silver Mine heating.

"During the construction phase and when the mine is expanding, the need for ventilation air and its heating will increase. The development of bioenergy-based heating suits well with Sotkamo Silver's objectives for energy-efficient and responsible underground mining production. The solution is part of the continuous development of sustainable mining, which the company is committed to”, says Timo Lindborg, CEO of Sotkamo Silver AB.
